Join us for our second annual Mt. Diablo New Year's Day ride! We will join old friends and meet new ones on this epic trip up Mount Diablo. Three pace groups will be available, with the slowest being a no-drop. Having said that, this will be a challenging and long ride, so please download the route in keep in mind the options for bailout points, namely the BART stations along the way.
Please text or email me if interested in co-leading a pace, thanks!

Deja Vue Diablo!
Come join us for our annual New Year’s Day Ride up Mount Diablo. Meet at Heather Farms for a simple out and back up North Gate. Riders may go all the way to the top and summit the mountain, or choose a turnaround point with an elevation that works for you.
Reaching Heather Farms by Bart is very simple. Coordinate your Bart arrival at the Pleasant Hill Bart to allow at least 10 minutes to ride south along the bike trail to arrive at Heather Farms by 10 a.m.
First official regroup up the mountain will be at The Junction, where many people decide how much further they will ride. Please join fellow Grizzlies for a hot coffee stop at the end of the ride at Peet's Coffee across the street from Heather Farms.
Raid your winter closet; carry a windbreaker, full finger gloves and consider any other bike “warmies” you own. Don't try to fool with Mother Nature... you'll be sorry!
Please pre-register
Bring snacks, lunch & water
Meet at 10 a.m. Heather Farms Walnut Creek

Meet at 9:30 am
Start Location: San Rafael - Marinwood Community Center
Pre-registration
We'll ride clockwise for a change around our regular Marshall Wall loop. From our Marinwood start, we will ride to Nicasio, then to Pt Reyes Station for a pastry, then up the coast to the Marshall Wall, which is a two-humper in this direction. Lunch at the Cheese Factory before completing the loop.
Shorten the ride to about 42 miles by starting in Nicasio. We should pass through there about 10:20 or so.
Please pre-register if you can. There is often a faster (more like M pace) group on this ride, but we all come back together at frequent regroups and lunch. We'll start when everyone who arrives by the meeting time is ready. If you arrive after the meeting time you may have to chase. You can probably catch us in Nicasio, where we will have a short regroup.

Start Location: North Berkeley BART
Pre-registration
Please join us for a weekly Thursday evening ride. This is a short ride but with a steep climb! We’ll head up Virginia St and Spruce to Spruce/Grizzly Peak for our first regroup, then head out along Wildcat Canyon to South Park Rd. From there, we’ll climb South Park, descend, and climb it again as many times as the mood strikes us (usually two or three times is enough, but individual riders can shorten or lengthen the ride as desired). South Park is closed to cars starting November 1st, which makes it perfect for winter riding. If we complete two round trip ascents up South Park then back to N Berkeley Bart, expect about 2,300 feet of elevation gain. This is a great way to stay in shape over the winter!
NOTE: This is a night ride. Come with bright front and rear lights (and make sure they work). 20% chance or greater of rain cancels the ride. Please contact ride leaders with any questions.

Let's hunt for elephant seals! This is one of my favorite rides. Some intrepid riders will want to skip Drakes and go to Chimney Rock or the lighthouse or visit all three. It's about a 6 mile difference. This links to lighthouse cue sheet. We will sort out who is riding where at the ride start.
Ride start has water, restrooms, ample parking. Drakes beach has water, restrooms, picnic tables.
Bring a lunch or pick something up at Inverness Park or in Inverness.
The Historic Life-Saving Service and G Ranch Cemetery is along the way, uphill from the end of Drakes Estero (take a right turn just across the bridge to eucalyptus grove).

The classic route RWGPS, but with the start moved to El Cerrito Plaza. Bring warm layers and bright lights to see by. The majority of the dirt sections are up hill or flat, but expect some short bumpy descents in the dark. I'm hoping mud shouldn't be too bad with over a week to dry out, but I will make changes in case of rain. 35mm+ tires recommended.

Don't let the distance fool you, this ride has almost 3k feet of elevation [RWGPS] and some of it gets pretty steep. With so many clear days let's take advantage of the dry trails and ride Tilden. Be prepared to hike-a-bike a few of the steep spots, and expect lots of hikers out on the trails. 38mm+ tires are recommended, but most of the descending will be on pavement. Depending on conditions there might be some adjustments made to the route, so keep an eye out here for updates. Meet at Bart, end at Nick's Pizza.

Yet another option to ride out to Point Reyes to see the elephant seals. Meet at 9:00 for a 9:15 roll out from Railroad Ave in Point Richmond. Head over to San Rafael and Lucas Valley Road. We will have a quick stop at Miller Creek Park in Marinwood. Then over to Nicasio and Point Reyes to the next stop. You can get lunch here or at Inverness Park Market. Get it to go as we will continue on to Drakes Beach and eat lunch there with the elephant seals. The visitor center at Drakes Beach may have food and drink but I am not certain. After lunch, we will ride back to Olema and Sir Francis Drake Blvd to Fairfax and San Rafael with a stop at the Lagunitas Market. Pace will be at the upper end of TM, but we will have regular regroups. Route can be found here: Drakes Beach
Update: You can shorten the ride by meeting us at Miller Creek Park. We should be there around 10.

Mandatory pre-registration
Not for the faint of heart! Enjoy one last ride of this era. Following the theme of others this week, going to visit Elephant Seals at Pt Reyes. But starting from Berkeley to make it longer. And adding a dirt fire road climb to Mount Vision. It should be doable on a road bike but it’s possible you may have to walk parts. Pace will be fairly brisk, but highly recommend bringing lights because we may get back after sunset.
Here is the Strava Route: https://strava.app.link/t2JYPHjAaQb
And RidewithGPS: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49472462
Please sign up if you are interested. Leave from North Berkeley BART at 7:15. Alternatively, if you want to drive to Point Richmond, we will be rolling out from there at 7:45. Probably a brief stop for water/bathroom at Pt Reyes Station on the way up (should be around 10), and a longer stop on the way back (around 3 or so). Feel free to text me if you have any questions.

Meet at 5:20 pm for a 5:30 pm start
Start Location: North Berkeley BART
Please join us for a weekly Thursday evening ride. This is a short ride but with a steep climb! We’ll head up Virginia St and Spruce to Spruce/Grizzly Peak for our first regroup, then head out along Wildcat Canyon to South Park Rd. From there, we’ll climb South Park, descend, and climb it again as many times as the mood strikes us (usually two or three times is enough, but individual riders can shorten or lengthen the ride as desired). South Park is closed to cars starting November 1st, which makes it perfect for winter riding. If we complete two round trip ascents up South Park then back to N Berkeley Bart, expect about 2,300 feet of elevation gain. This is a great way to stay in shape over the winter!
NOTE: This is a night ride. Come with bright front and rear lights (and make sure they work). 20% chance or greater of rain cancels the ride. Please contact ride leaders with any questions.

Deja Vue Diablo!
Come join us for our annual New Year’s Day Ride up Mount Diablo. Meet at Heather Farms for a simple out and back up North Gate. Riders may go all the way to the top and summit the mountain, or choose a turnaround point with an elevation that works for you.
Reaching Heather Farms by Bart is very simple. Coordinate your Bart arrival at the Pleasant Hill Bart to allow at least 10 minutes to ride south along the bike trail to arrive at Heather Farms by 10 a.m.
First official regroup up the mountain will be at The Junction, where many people decide how much further they will ride. Please join fellow Grizzlies for a hot coffee stop at the end of the ride at Peet's Coffee across the street from Heather Farms.
Raid your winter closet; carry a windbreaker, full finger gloves and consider any other bike “warmies” you own. Don't try to fool with Mother Nature... you'll be sorry!
Please pre-register

Ride start has water, restrooms, ample parking. Drakes beach has water, restrooms, picnic tables.
Bring a lunch or pick something up at Inverness Park or in Inverness.
The Historic Life-Saving Service and G Ranch Cemetery is along the way, uphill from the end of Drakes Estero (take a right turn just across the bridge to eucalyptus grove).

Don't let the distance fool you, this ride has almost 3k feet of elevation [RWGPS] and some of it gets pretty steep. With so many clear days let's take advantage of the dry trails and ride Tilden. Be prepared to hike-a-bike a few of the steep spots, and expect lots of hikers out on the trails. 38mm+ tires are recommended, but most of the descending will be on pavement. Depending on conditions there might be some adjustments made to the route, so keep an eye out here for updates. Meet at Bart, end at Nick's Pizza.

Yet another option to ride out to Point Reyes to see the elephant seals. Meet at 9:00 for a 9:15 roll out from Railroad Ave in Point Richmond. Head over to San Rafael and Lucas Valley Road. We will have a quick stop at Miller Creek Park in Marinwood. Then over to Nicasio and Point Reyes to the next stop. You can get lunch here or at Inverness Park Market. Get it to go as we will continue on to Drakes Beach and eat lunch there with the elephant seals. The visitor center at Drakes Beach may have food and drink but I am not certain. After lunch, we will ride back to Olema and Sir Francis Drake Blvd to Fairfax and San Rafael with a stop at the Lagunitas Market. Pace will be at the upper end of TM, but we will have regular regroups. Route can be found here: Drakes Beach
Update: You can shorten the ride by meeting us at Miller Creek Park. We should be there around 10.

Not for the faint of heart! Enjoy one last ride of this era. Following the theme of others this week, going to visit Elephant Seals at Pt Reyes. But starting from Berkeley to make it longer. And adding a dirt fire road climb to Mount Vision. It should be doable on a road bike but it’s possible you may have to walk parts. Pace will be fairly brisk, but highly recommend bringing lights because we may get back after sunset.
Here is the Strava Route: https://strava.app.link/t2JYPHjAaQb

Please sign up if you are interested. Leave from North Berkeley BART at 7:15. Alternatively, if you want to drive to Point Richmond, we will be rolling out from there at 7:45. Probably a brief stop for water/bathroom at Pt Reyes Station on the way up (should be around 10), and a longer stop on the way back (around 3 or so). Feel free to text me if you have any questions.
